“Name:” is the name of the volume.
“-“ (dash) indicates the volume is not protected. If it were a “+” plus sign would
show.
“Free” is the number of sectors left on the volume
“Used” is the number of sectors used by the volume and by the files
“CMD” is the column where the following actions can be invoked:
o C – copy
o D – delete
o M – move
o T – type (display on screen)
o P – print (only displayable files)
“Filename” is the column where each file name is shown. Changing the filename
in this column causes the file to be renamed to the new name.
“Size” is the number of sectors the file occupies in the volume
“Type/No.” indicates the type of file and the record length (if appropriate). The
values are:
o PROGRAM
o DIS/FIX (display/fixed length)
o DIS/VAR (display/variable length)
o INT/FIX (internal/fixed length)
o INT/VAR (internal/variable length)

“P” in the column where the protection status of the file is displayed. The value
can be changed here to change the file’s protection status. Valid values are:
o P – protected
o U – unprotected
“<1/1>” is a field that indicates the page number and the total number of pages.
In a volume with many files only about twenty entries can be operated on at one
time. Using Ctrl-E (pressing CTRL and the E key simultaneously) causes the
previous page to display. CTRL-X causes the next page to display.
“COPY/MOVE” field is count of sectors being moved or copied.
“DELETE” field is the count of sectors that will be released.

Execute File Commands? (Y/N)? N
In the above example, CATALOG will be deleted, CFMGR will be copied and
CFMGR/O will be moved. Note that CFINFO/O will print immediately and that
CATALOG2 would have displayed immediately but will incur a DEVICE ERROR
instead since PROGRAM files are not displayable.
Except for printing and displaying, the actions will not be performed until “Y” is pressed
as a response to “Execute File Commands? (Y/N)? ”.
The move and copy commands will prompt for a destination volume. Once selected, the
option to format the destination volume is displayed. Once formatted (or if declined) the
file copy-and-move operations will commence. Note that when a file is moved it is
deleted from the original volume.
The arrow keys (FCTN-E, FCTN-S, FCTN-D and FCTN-X) are used to navigate the
fields on the screen. The execute option does not display until the last line is navigated
through. Press the “PROCEED” key (FCTN-6) will cause the execute option to display
immediately.
Pressing “REDO” (FCTN-8) allows the entering of a new volume number.
Pressing “BEGIN” (FCTN-5) redisplays the main menu.
Pressing “BACK” (FCTN-9) redisplays the File Utilities menu.

Recover File
Files that have been accidentally deleted can be recovered using this option. Please note
that a truly successful recovery depends on how soon the recovery is attempted. If many
files have created or modified on the volume containing the file since is deletion recovery
will probably fail.

The display consists of:
•
VOL# - this column is the volume number; CF7+ and CF7A+ always enumerates
the volume on a compact flash from 1 to maximum-number-of-volumes (see CF
Geometry).
•
VOL NAME – this column is the name of the volume. Volumes names can be
blank. However, if a volume is unformatted the FREE and USED columns will
also be blank. For example, in the screen above volume 5 is unformatted whereas
volume 10 is not.
•
FREE – this column indicates the count of sectors available for new files.
•
USED – this column indicates the count of sectors used by files on the volume.
Note that the volume itself uses two sectors after formatting.
•
P – this column indicates if the volume is protected. “P” indicates it is.

The compact flash contains a tiny microcontroller that contains useful information about
itself. Relevant bits of that information are displayed in this screen.

•
CYLS – is the number of cylinders that the compact flash emulates. This unit of
measure is a left-over from disk storage medium handling.
•
HEADS – the number of heads that the compact flash emulates. It is also leftover from disk storage medium handling.
•
SECTS – is the number of sectors per cylinder. (Also a left-over)
•
SERIAL# – is manufacturer’s identification for the compact flash device
•
FIRMWARE – is the manufacturer’s firmware level used by the compact flash
microcontroller
•
MODEL# – is the manufacturer’s model identification
•
MAX VOLS – is the computed number of volumes the compact flash device can
hold. It the above example a 320mb compact flash can hold 391 400kb volumes.
Considering that the original TI-99/4a diskette could only hold 90kb this is a
tremendous amount of storage!
